I did one of my bindings. My left binding always seemed loose in the toes and I was having a hard time tightening it. I added the second tie to the front. I now tighten it before I put the binding on. It is still nearly impossible to tighten with the biding on. If you look at the binding the top lace holder in the front of the binding is designed to pinch the lace to lock it in place. I just used one lace in the front and I set it at the tighness that I like and it hasn't moved for a couple months now.
